    Ooooh momma that's tempting, £250-300 for one of those would be a nice upgrade, just a shame it's out not long before R600...

    Well, they may not have the performance crown at the moment, but they sure have the "Too Big To Fit In 90% of Cases" Award :p

    Jesus Christ!

    Would you look at the size of that thing!

    It extends the pci bracket by a good 1"/1.5" and must be at least a foot long! I think this is just more of a 'party piece' for sapphire than any thing else. I mean many people are struggling to fit the 8800GTX behemoth in their case, let alone this monster.

    probably the only time someone has said a 8800 is small lol..

    wonder if they made it out of 2 mobile x1900's or just went mad and used full fat ones

    If this had come out earlier, it may have had some success, but with 8800s, R600s and its size, I don't think it will have much appeal, but it is cool! I like the look of that x1650xt though!

    As gravemind said, if it had come earlier, but when I next get a graphics card, it will be a DX10 part.

    Is there any word on if driver support for quad-crossfire will be released at the time this card is?
